The story follows Dr. Maria and her husband, Dr. Mohan, both psychologists sent to the village of Shantivan to investigate a series of mysterious possessions and suicides. They arrive with their 10-year-old son, Mahesh.
The film also poses a philosophical question to the audience: Where does the actor end and the character begin? For generations of Malayalis, Mohanlal is not just an actor; he is a brother, a friend, a savior, and an ideal. Sreejith Nair cleverly uses Karnavar’s extreme psychosis to hold a mirror to society, showing us that our own obsession with celebrity culture is perhaps just a milder form of Karnavar’s madness.
